Milos Raonic v Jordan Thompson Head to Head
There have been two previous meetings between these two players and it’s 1-1 on head to head. They had faced off as recently as the Rosmalen Open last week and Thompson had won that in straight sets.

Raonic Coming off First Tournament Participation in Ages
It took Raonic a while before getting back on court following his fitness concerns but he did well to win his opening round match at the Rosmalen Open last week. He had overcome Miomir Kecmanovic in that encounter in straight sets.
In the second round, Raonic had his chances again but his opponent from this match, Thompson, ended his short stay in that competition.
These are early days on his way back for Raonic and while it’s one thing to be fit again from the injury he had suffered but quite another to reach a sustainable level of tennis.
A level of tennis that Raonic can rely on to dig him out of trouble against some of the top-100 players before he moves back to getting the better of the top-50, 20 or even 10 players.
Can he avenge that Rosmalen defeat in this one?

Thompson Goes Down Fighting in Rosmalen Final
In one of his best performances of all times, Thompson reached the final of the Rosmalen Open last week where he then lost to Tallon Griekspoor.
Thompson grabbed the first set in that title-decider and lost the second – both of which went into a tie-breaker – before Griekspoor came through in the third. That was after the Aussie had also made the semifinal of the Surbiton Challenger in the week prior to that.
What Thompson will now hope to do is use that as a springboard to come up with a solid showing in this second grass court competition of the season he will be playing.
What Thompson will need to mind is not only Raonic’s desire for revenge but also the fact that there could be some exhaustion associated with playing his sixth match in a mere eight days.
Raonic v Thompson Prediction and Tip
Raonic will look to take advantage of Thompson’s long vigil on the courts over the last week or so, while Thompson will hope Raonic isn’t fully there yet. Expect a mini-battle in each of the sets played.
Tips:
- Moderate Risk Tip: Raonic to win: 10/11
